Six months after Alex and Buffy moved to the Isle of Rum without visiting it, how has island life worked out?
Alex said: "Buffy works with the Isle of Rum Community Trust and I work within the island's tourism sector.
"I have been out counting seabirds twice now. This is a huge island perk because on the mainland I couldn't imagine either of us getting the opportunity to do these kind of things. I have also dipped my feet into wild-water swimming on the loch and have taken the kayak out many times to get out on the ocean searching for the elusive marine mammals."Before they left for Scotland, Alex and Buffy were told they could expect to become close to other families in their new home.
"You can live a solitary life here if you choose or you could live with the buzz of a social life - somewhere in between is pretty good with us."Rum has beaches to rival the CaribbeanAlex said: "One night last week I went outside and brushed my teeth, and two sea eagles glided by overhead, squawking as they rose over the hills behind us. It was just incredible.
